Nesta McGregor

Available for over a year

An ex-gang member from Luton has turned his back on guns and crime thanks in part to a reggae artist from the town. Marvin Lee, also known as the singer Iceman, grew up in Lewsey Farm as a teenager and found the attraction of gangs too hard to resist. He spent a year in prison and now works with Jason Newton also known as the Da Real Future on a music project to inspire youngsters not to join gangs. In this clip Da Real Future tells presenter Nesta McGregor how he helped steer Iceman onto a different path.
